Jollie Time!

So guess what? I am going away very soon (Well Friday)and I’m yet to be overly excited. I suppose its like Christmas when you don’t really get excited until the night before or just when you get on the plane. To be honest I think I'm more anxious then excited. Everyone I have spoken to have been like 'Ohh the Turkish men will be all over you', ‘ The Turkish men are all slimy’ I don't want be harassed while I’m sipping into my Pina Calada, no thank you!

Luckily, though my best friend who I’m going on holiday with kindly equipped me with a set of Nerf guns for my birthday so if any mischief goes down they will seriously regret it. I do hope the airport security don’t think I’m carrying a lethal weapon in my suitcase, with my 007 Nerf guns that would be rather embarrassing having those confiscated. (Bridget Jones moment right there me thinks... British Embassy anyone? ) It’s only a day away and I’ve packed up my gear and I would say 80% ready to go. And even though I do act like I'm not excited I am at least grateful to have the chance to go away with my bestie and do something a bit more spontaneous. After all this holiday was only booked 30 days ago, talk about last minute! By the way who ever does bother to read these blogs I will keep you updated on my jollies or at least attempt to. Sort of a travel diary of the goings on in Turkey (gobble, gobble... sorry) That's if I get bored but chances are I'll have an amazing time and do loads of cool things and then I will update you guys once I’m back in Blighty (and make you all jealous mwahahaha).

So of course I’ve packed the Nerf guns but also I have packed some other essentials, more related to beauty shall we say. Don't worry guys even if I wanted to do a beauty blog which I sort of do, I simply don't have the funds to keep reviewing expensive beauty product's(Hug me I'm poor). However due to a recent birthday I actually have a few make up items that shall we say are, as I put it very splurge-tastic so here goes.

The first thing is the Benefit Boing concealer, number one shade. I kinda swear by this stuff and covers all (not kidding) blemishes. I do have darker skin than the number one shade but I find it also works well as a highlighter. This brings onto high beam, also by benefit again love this but only where it on occasion as I find it has a tendency to make you look too shiny in places but great for a night out. For my mascara I have my They're real Benefit Mascara, which is simply awesome but be careful don't over load the mascara too much as you can end up looking like you have a spider crawling out of your eye. Less is more with that one. Also I Have a more cheaper mascara which is Collection's Longer Lashes in Brown/black. The reason I've brought it was its waterproof and of course we've all been there when we've jumped into the pool and got out to panda eyes. Well, not this year bloggers, I am prepared for this plunge! Anyways another item I have is the Real Techniques brush which I use to apply my Match Perfection foundation. Its a staple in my make-up bag and probably my favourite brush ever. Brilliant coverage and it honestly makes you look flawless, would definitely recommend to anyone. Its a close runner against my Nerf gun as the most favourite thing I have in my suit case.

So yeah that was my little beauty snippet. The observant ones will have noticed that I do I have other items in there and all I equally swear by, especially my Hoola Benefit bronzer as I will be a pastey bugger for the first few days. Hope you enjoyed my post today and tomorrow will be my last post in dreary,cold England until I head off to sunny Turkey (Okay, admittedly I'm getting excited now).

Please post any comments below and any advice on how I get myself excited for holiday and I would love to know what do you look forward to when you go away and what are your holiday essentials that you swear by?

27th May 2014- New beginnings

Hello bloggersphere.
Yanno when you have a clear out of all your things from the past that make you both cringe/cry and also laugh. Well, I started on my room for example I noticed the chavtastic old Paul's boutiques bags I used to lug around as I child which made me laugh, the old photos of past best friends which made me sort of sad  and the old diaries I used to keep made me cringe my socks off. So once finishing the room I thought hmm what else can I reminisce about? Oh yeah... This blog was one of those 'projects' shall we say that I had when I was younger. Looking back on my previous blog's make me both laugh at my naivety but also make me reflect on the events that occurred in my younger life and how insignificant they are now. For example OMG the guy hasn't called me he doesn't love me! I could just imagine the amount of people looking at my blog and just scoffing at this little girl thinking she has so little experience of life and boys but don't worry scoffers I also share the same view now. I will however stick up for the fact that okay yes I was acting  like I knew everything but I was only a sixteen year old girl and I was just starting to learn about these things (and of course a sixteen year old girl does know about everything.. we've all been there). I do understand you older girlie's are laughing at my immaturity because now being a older girlie I am embarrassed slightly for myself. Despite growing up I still slightly haven't matured mentally and actually still know zilch about my self and of men. (Getting the tub of Ben and Jerry's out as I type...)

I will give it to myself even though I was so cringey beyond belief I was hilarious both purposely and accidentally. Its like when you look at old status' you made when you were younger, the phrase 'What was I thinking?' comes to mind... alot.

I got so frustrated with boys that now I've just simply gave up, I don't have a boyfriend and in fact haven't had one ever since (Like to add not because i spend all day here nono!... mainly Netflix and instagram to blame). So tragic I know but for some reason I'm not interested, I honestly couldn't care less. Some times I think, maybe it would be nice to have company and I should be probably be wanting to have a boyfriend. But honestly I cant be bothered. To summarise the things I cared about previously seem menial now so you're probably wondering okay so you don't care about boys blah blah blah, 'What do you  care about? ' Good question. 'Why thank you!' My career, wanting money and living my life. Very general I know but so true. That's what I care about I really don't see the obsession these days with wanting to settle down so young and have a family without creating there own financial security, own home, or reaching to there potential. I just want money and then I feel family will be a after thought, an addition if you will to my life.

So to conclude I'm back to give a insight in the life of Annie and just to give a update on my goings on in daily life (Really selling it to you I know.) Its time to realign my priorities of life and boys you're taking a back seat for now. Time to grown up. Career and success should be the forefront of my mind  (okay sometimes boys... I'm a 19 year girl what do you expect?)  So here goes first post in a while let me know what you think. :)
